Branch Knee Injury
Deion Branch went down with a left knee injury on the seventh play of the game. He did not return to the game.
Mike Holmgren says, "I'ts a pretty good injury." No further information on his status.
Until today Branch had not played since December 26th (right calf strain).

never heard of a pretty good injury before???? but i suppose if you can make a cool mil a season and not play that could be considered a pretty good injury???? kinda like Alexanders' reason for so few yards this season,"i only run IF i have a lane and IF i'm not going to get hit to hard." can anyone GuESS what this does to our draft choices.we haven't had a good young strong draft pick in a while. lofa may have been the last?? people we need to get serious about our running game and our O line. credit the line we have for doing a pretty good job of pass protection yesterday but there is no running game in Seattle since Hutch left.did you notice that everytime/practically the Pack got the ball they scored and almost all that was done by a young agressive runner.honestly folks i don't know how Matt has come so far with no ground game. would we be more respected if we had a double edged attack on the ground and through the air.everyone looks forward to next year but, will next year be a reflection of the same. i think it's every fans dream to see their team win a Superbowl and this becomes the defining moment.as John Elway said upon winning his first Superbowl, "that feeling was like none other he'd ever experianced." no one can say Mr Allen is not a generous man, their are some on this team getting paid for nothing. tomarrow's headlines should read, "Seahawks sign NFLs' best runningback." DREAM ON !!!!

Senior Hawker,
It does not matter if it is Shaun, Maurice or Leonard running the ball. If there is no where to run you could be Walter Payton or Emmitt Smith and gain 25 yards a game. We need to get two new guards and maybe even a center. Until that happens, it does not matter who the back is, the result will be the same. So stop dogging Alexander and place the blame where it is deserved.

Pretty good injury as in it's severe, Branch has been a good up and down asset for the Hawks. You can't blame him for the injury though, Im sure he wasn't even 100% to play in the first place.
As for ya'll talking about replacements..where do we start!!! First we should get rid of Alexander to clear up some cap room and get a young healthy halfback that can run all day everyday and that will be willing to take hard hits. The Offensive line needs help, they need to replace Sims, Spencer and over the hill Gray. I don't mean to talk smack, but its true. I give them props for doing what they did this season for some pretty good protection for Hasselbeck. With or without Hutchinson there will always be ways of having a good running game so let's hope the hawks can make good decisions this off season and pick up some good draftpicks and make some deals for trades.

Branch has been a bust so far. We need to shop him out and give some of his money to keep DJ around. Wonder what Engram's future plans are? Hope he comes back after the great year he's had. Offensive line is our biggest need.
